So, in that spirit, here is my list of &quot;April Things to Do&quot;. <br /><br />1) Finish organizing my paper and digital files. Over the past month I&#39;ve switched from my old binder system to a color-coded &quot;folders for couples&quot; system which is working very well for me so far. Since then I&#39;ve been scanning every paper file and printing every digital file (except for photos) so the two files are identical. This has been a huge chore, but I now only have 7 more folders to scan/print.<br /><br />2) Sourcing. Even though I&#39;ve been diligent about not accepting info into my tree without proper primary and secondary sources, I&#39;ve done a crappy job of documenting those sources. That is my next big chore and one I&#39;m sure that will last long beyond April.<br /><br />3) Photos. Organize and label all photos. This will be another doozy, but figure I&#39;d list this for an April start. <br /><br />4) Find A Grave. Post all ancestors and other relatives whose cemetery locations are known on Find A Grave. Request photos when needed. This is now complete for ancestors, but still need to complete the &quot;other relatives&quot; portion.<br /><br />5) Genealogy Community. Continue to explore what the online genealogical community has to offer - Twitter, blogs, etc...<br /><br />Phew…I think that is an over-ambitious list, but a good place to start…Mike Augernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228501257961168194.post-13169945772221572602010-04-03T20:08:34.568-04:002010-04-03T20:08:34.568-04:00Tina, I&#39;ll be looking forward in hearing about...Tina, I&#39;ll be looking forward in hearing about the conferences (I&#39;m a member of OSG also). I used to make these kinds of lists, but found out I was really lazy at keeping my goals. Good luck with yours. Organizing photos, that is a lost cause for me, good luck with yours.Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07440544740334032378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228501257961168194.post-3244990256613862682010-04-02T20:55:10.609-04:002010-04-02T20:55:10.609-04:00Hmm...

More would get done here with regard to genealogy (more records would be ordered!).Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10005835162486030099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228501257961168194.post-33831286454541273502010-04-01T14:09:15.127-04:002010-04-01T14:09:15.127-04:00You are motivating me to make my own to do list fo...You are motivating me to make my own to do list for April.
